The author found a true story that inspired her to write this action-packed novel of a time that changed Canada.

The real story of Frank “Cougar” Wright in Cougar’s Crossing tells of a loud, brash, and irreverent pioneer to the Canadian Northwest who came from Wisconsin and the forests of Washington. Cougar swore like a trooper, and didn’t believe in a higher power than his own strength. He loved his family and wanted them to join him in his struggle to tame the Canadian wilderness. His story is filled with romance, adventure, and even a ghost!
